The 12 best memes of 2015: Runaway llamas, The Dress, Adele …

A police officer. A cheeky dude (Brandon Moore) yelling “what are thooose?” at the officer’s functional, ugly footwear. Millions of loops and views and copycats later, a meme is born. The first urban dictionary entry for the phrase and practice appeared in 2011, but it was 2015 when the sport of pointing at some awful shoes (preferably Crocs) and shouting “what are those?!!” entered the mainstream. The best example is the wonderful take on the Jurassic Park theme tune (see below, 50 million Vine loops so far), which I like because it’s less mean-spirited than real life examples. In fact, the man who started the whole thing back in the summer seems kind of rude – and is now in jail. Um.

It stormed collective internet consciousness in early September. Norwegian Kevin Synnes decided to embarrass his girlfriend in a store by pushing down on a bunch of toy ducks which, when pressed, emitted a loud “aaarghh!” noise. The video was then appropriated by Vine star Charlie Murphy and subsequently looped millions of times, spawning multiple variants. There has even been a mash-up with the what are those? meme. My person favourite versions are those which pay tribute to Adele and Taylor Swift.

However, a Guardian investigation revealed that that the toy was not a duck, but a pelican. Listen to our interview with Kevin here.

It took just a 30-second snippet of Adele’s new single, Hello, debuted during the advert break of the UK television show, The X Factor, to have the singer trending worldwide on Twitter. And while the haunting piano and hushed, smoky tones beloved of millions of fans induced much excitement among those desperate to hear the full song, the clip also inspired plenty of memes.

“Hello, it’s me” is a pretty meme-able phrase, and the internet did not disappoint. When the sepia-tinged video dropped, featuring the singer in an amazing coat, using a flip-phone and hanging out in an abandoned house, the memes just multiplied. Especially re: the flip-phone. One woman even texted her ex the entire lyrics to Hello, without him catching on at all.

A lot of people characterised this as Nicki Minaj “throwing shade” at Miley Cyrus, which is a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of shade. Minaj didn’t “throw shade” – she directly called Cyrus out, in front of a TV audience of millions. If anything, that is the direct opposite of throwing shade.

The incident happened at the MTV Music Video Awards in response to an interview Cyrus gave in which she called Minaj “not very polite”. While accepting an award Minaj called Cyrus “this bitch who had a lot to say about me in the press the other day”, before ending with the perfectly passive aggressive, “Miley, what’s good?” Cue memes. Lots and lots of memes.

Nick Young is a basketball player who shoots for the LA Lakers. His internet fame, however, is courtesy of a confused reaction face meme. At one point during a day-in-life-of documentary, Thru The Lens, posted on YouTube, Young pulls a “huh?” face when his mother calls him a clown. His quizzical expression towards the camera has spawned probably the best reaction macro of 2015 and can be used for disbelief, surprise or a thousand other reactions.

The 21-year-old college student Nicholas Fraser became an internet sensation when he decided to perform, in his yard, perched on a toilet, as one does, a quick cover of Next’s Too Close, but with the lyrics changed to “why the fuck you lyin’? / why you always lyin’?”) Given that people lie all of the time, and we know about it, guys, and we all want people to know that we know, Fraser’s vine caught on and inspired multiple cover versions of his cover version. Now, when your mate texts to say she is five minutes away but you know she probably hasn’t left the house yet, there’s a perfect means of responding. Thanks Nicholas.

After the Fifty Shades of Grey series of books sold so poorly , it was a punt for Universal Pictures to have taken on a film adaptation. But – oh, brave souls – it was brought to the screen in summer 2015 with Sam Taylor-Johnson at the helm and Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson starring. Given that the book had already resulted in a lot of cultural cache, it was inevitable that the film would inspire memes and jokes. The internet delivered. In particular, the “my tastes are very … singular” line (altered to “my desires are unconventional” for the internet) proved a rich seam.

One of the best tracks of 2015, the video for Drake’s Hotline Bling didn’t drop until October – three months after the song’s release. But it was worth the wait. A minimalist clip, Drake shows off his unusual dance moves against different coloured backdrops inspired by artist James Turell. The rapper’s moves and pained impression inspired multiple parodies shared on YouTube, Vine and Twitter.

Included below are some of the best: a dancing and adorable shiba inu (aka Doge), the Man From Another Place from Twin Peaks and perhaps best of all, some tennis backhand action.

The most viral of viral phenomenons. A young woman took a picture of a dress in a clothes store and uploaded it to Tumblr. Why is this interesting? Because the internet was genuinely divided as to whether the dress was blue and black, or white and gold.

The original Tumblr post posing the question racked up an enormous 73m page views, and a BuzzFeed piece on the dress has more than 38m page views to date. #TheDress trended for days on social media. Scientists were hauled in to explain how people could be seeing different colours. Rods and cones were mentioned. British current affairs programme Newsnight even offered its own vote. The Guardian waded in, with the definitive take.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard as when I discovered the Poot Lovato meme. A Tumblr post featuring an awkward fan photograph of singer Demi Lovato posited the theory that the snap was not of Demi herself, but her secret twin sister, Poot Lovato, who had been trapped in a basement her entire life. The fable took hold and soon the internet was ablaze with hilarious and creative Poot memes. Fan-fiction was written, fan art drawn, Instagram and Twitter accounts were established and even Demi herself addressed the joke (she wasn’t amused). Then, rather, brilliantly, a sleuth dug out a paparazzi photograph of Demi-as-Poot right at the moment the fan pic was taken. It’s still funny.

On THE SAME DAY AS THE DRESS, the internet exploded with one of the great police chases of our time – two llamas on the run. The llamas, one black and one white, ran loose in Sun City, Arizona. The whole internet followed, glued to the ABC15 live stream of the runaway beasts and tracking updates on Twitter. The llamas, true heroes of freedom and an inspiration to all, had escaped from their day job in an animal therapy centre. The black llama was caught first, its emancipation ended with a cruel lassoing. The white llama ran on, but eventually, it too was caught. Still, these two were the internet’s favourite llamas since Serge, the French llama who travelled by subway.

NOOOO. BLACK LLAMA CAUGHT. 😔😔😔 STAY STRONG WHITE LLAMA.

LLAMA 1: We're escaping this afternoon. LLAMA 2: Alpaca bag.

My personal winner for meme of 2015 is the dead raccoon, an unfortunate soul, found deceased on a Toronto street. After a man tweeted the relevant city authorities to tell them about the raccoon, the poor critter was left for hours in the same spot. Over the next 12 hours, a vigil was set up for the raccoon, documented online. A note was left, a framed photograph, notes were written. Someone gave the raccoon an unlit joint as a mark of respect. It got dark. Candles were lit. The raccoon was named Conrad. Eventually, the authorities turned up and unceremoniously dumped Conrad in a rubbish truck. Such a lack of respect.

Instruction:
In the first 50 years after the founding of the Mexica dynasty, the Mexica were a tributary of Azcapotzalco, which had become a major regional power under the ruler Tezozomoc. The Mexica supplied the Tepaneca with warriors for their successful conquest campaigns in the region and received part of the tribute from the conquered city states. In this way, the prestige and economy of Tenochtitlan gradually grew.  In 1396, at Acamapichtli's death, his son Huitzilihhuitl (Nahuatl: "Hummingbird feather") became ruler; married to Tezozomoc's daughter, the relation with Azcapotzalco remained close. Chimalpopoca (Nahuatl: "She smokes like a shield"), son of Huitzilihhuitl, became ruler of Tenochtitlan in 1417. In 1418, Azcapotzalco initiated a war against the Acolhua of Texcoco and killed their ruler Ixtlilxochitl. Even though Ixtlilxochitl was married to Chimalpopoca's daughter, the Mexica ruler continued to support Tezozomoc. Tezozomoc died in 1426, and his sons began a struggle for rulership of Azcapotzalco. During this struggle for power, Chimalpopoca died, probably killed by Tezozomoc's son Maxtla who saw him as a competitor.  Itzcoatl, brother of Huitzilihhuitl and uncle of Chimalpopoca, was elected the next Mexica tlatoani. The Mexica were now in open war with Azcapotzalco and Itzcoatl petitioned for an alliance with Nezahualcoyotl, son of the slain Texcocan ruler Ixtlilxochitl against Maxtla. Itzcoatl also allied with Maxtla's brother Totoquihuaztli ruler of the Tepanec city of Tlacopan. The Triple Alliance of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco and Tlacopan besieged Azcapotzalco, and in 1428 they destroyed the city and sacrificed Maxtla. Through this victory Tenochtitlan became the dominant city state in the Valley of Mexico, and the alliance between the three cities provided the basis on which the Aztec Empire was built.  Itzcoatl proceeded by securing a power basis for Tenochtitlan, by conquering the city-states on the southern lake - including Colhuacan, Xochimilco, Cuitlahuac and Mizquic. These states had an economy based on highly productive chinampa agriculture, cultivating floating gardens in the shallow lake Xochimilco. Itzcoatl then undertook further conquests in the valley of Morelos, subjecting the city state of Cuauhnahuac (today Cuernavaca).

Answer this question "who conqured the lakes" by extracting the answer from the text above.

Output: Itzcoatl conquered the city-states on the southern lake.


Instruction: Found the following article online, use it to answer the question: What is the full name of the man on the science team that had Antarctic experience?  Markham had hoped for a fully-fledged Royal Naval expedition, but was warned by the Admiralty that "the present exigencies of the Naval Service [would] prevent them from lending officers..." However, the Admiralty agreed to release Scott and Charles Royds, and later allowed Michael Barne and Reginald Skelton to join the expedition. The remaining officers were from the Merchant Marine, including Albert Armitage, the second-in-command, who had experience with the Jackson–Harmsworth Arctic expedition, 1894–97, and Ernest Shackleton, designated Third Officer in charge of holds, stores and provisions, and responsible for arranging the entertainments. The Admiralty also released around twenty petty officers and seamen, the rest of the crew being from the merchant service, or from civilian employment. Among the lower deck complement were some who became Antarctic veterans, including Frank Wild, William Lashly, Thomas Crean (who joined the expedition following the desertion of a seaman in New Zealand), Edgar Evans and Ernest Joyce. Although the expedition was not a formal Navy project, Scott proposed to run the expedition on naval lines, and secured the crew's voluntary agreement to work under the Naval Discipline Act.The scientific team was inexperienced. Dr George Murray, Gregory's successor as chief scientist, was due to travel only as far as Australia (in fact he left the ship at Cape Town), using the voyage to train the scientists, but with no part to play in the detailed work of the expedition. The only scientist with previous Antarctic experience was Louis Bernacchi, who had been with Borchgrevink as magnetic observer and meteorologist. The geologist, Hartley Ferrar, was a 22-year-old recent Cambridge graduate who Markham thought "might be made into a man." Marine biologist Thomas Vere Hodgson, from Plymouth Museum, was a more mature figure, as was the senior of the two doctors, Reginald Koettlitz, who, at 39, was the oldest member of the expedition. He, like Armitage, had been with the Jackson–Harmsworth...

Output: The full name of the man on the science team that had Antarctic experience is Louis Charles Bernacchi. He had previously been with Borchgrevink's expedition as a magnetic observer and meteorologist.


Instruction:
Sen. Ted Stevens, indicted Tuesday on seven counts of making false statements on Senate financial disclosure forms, has a long history in the Senate. Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was charged Tuesday with making false statements on financial disclosure forms. And in the last few years, the Alaska Republican has been a poster boy for congressional spending critics. In 2005, legislation backed by Stevens to build a so-called "bridge to nowhere" became a lightning rod for those critics. The proposal called for construction of a $223 million bridge to connect Alaska's Gravina Island -- population 50 -- to the mainland. The allocation was backed by Stevens and Alaska Rep. Don Young, then the powerful GOP chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Congress later rescinded the earmarked funding for the bridge. The project also drew the ire of Sen. John McCain, now the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, who has long chastised Congress for wasteful spending. He has cited the "bridge to nowhere" in several campaign speeches this year. During the primaries, McCain said politicians' pet projects could have played a role in the Minnesota bridge collapse in early 2007. "Maybe if we had done it right, maybe some of that money would have gone to inspect those bridges and other bridges around the country," McCain said in Ankeny, Iowa, on August 4, 2007. "Maybe the 200,000 people who cross that bridge every day would have been safer than spending ... your tax dollars on a bridge in Alaska to an island with 50 people on it." While the Arizona senator has long fought earmarks, he never specifically went after the "bridge to nowhere," and he was absent for key votes on its funding, according to FactCheck.org. Stevens, 84, is the oldest Republican senator and second in age only to Sen. Robert Byrd, the 90-year-old Democrat from West Virginia. Stevens is up for re-election in 2008. The former chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee has represented Alaska in Washington since 1968 and is renowned for his prowess in steering federal funds to his vast, sparsely populated state. Stevens is the Senate's president pro tempore emeritus; co-chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee; vice chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; and ranking member of the Disaster Recovery Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee. "During World War II, he joined the Army Air Corps and flew support missions for the Flying Tigers of the 14th Air Force. Stevens was awarded numerous medals for his service, including the Distinguished Flying Cross," according to his Senate Web site. After the war, Stevens attended and graduated from both UCLA and Harvard Law School, and later practiced law in Alaska. He later moved to Washington to work in President Dwight Eisenhower's White House. After his stint in the White House, Stevens moved back to Alaska and ran for state representative. He was elected to the Alaska House in 1964. Four years later, Stevens was appointed to the U.S. Senate. In 1970, he was elected to finish his term in a special election mandated by state law, according to Stevens' Web site.  He has since been re-elected six times.

What are highlight points for this article?

Output: This article is about a man named Ted Stevens, who was a senator, a very important helper for the people in Alaska. He got into trouble for not being honest about some things in his job. A long time ago, he wanted to build a big, expensive bridge in Alaska, but a lot of people didn't like the idea because they thought it was a waste of money. This bridge was called the "bridge to nowhere." Some people, like another important man named John McCain, think it's better to use that money to make things safer for everyone. Ted Stevens has been helping Alaska for a very, very long time, and he used to work for other important people too.

Title: "The Enduring Battle Against Junk Email: Exploring the Global Impacts of Spam and Efforts to Combat This Overwhelming Nuisance"

In today's fast-paced digital world, one aspect of online communication that poses a significant challenge for users and organizations alike is the prevalence of junk email, more commonly known as spam. These unsolicited messages clog inboxes worldwide and have led to millions being spent to curtail their ever-growing presence. As individuals, businesses, and governments find themselves inundated with these digital irritants, it becomes increasingly essential to understand the mechanics and implications of spam, as well as the efforts being implemented to combat it.

Spam emails take various forms, from unwanted promotional materials and product offers to more dangerous messages containing malicious links or attachments. The sheer volume of spam being sent daily is staggering, estimated to be between 14 to 18 billion messages, accounting for nearly half of all email traffic. This inundation not only disrupts productivity but also poses significant security risks for both individuals and organizations who may inadvertently engage with these messages.

One of the primary social impacts of spam emails is the considerable loss of time and productivity experienced by users who must sift through copious unwanted messages. For businesses, this translates into a considerable financial drain, as it has been estimated that spam costs organizations over $20.5 billion annually in lost productivity and technical expenses.

Furthermore, spam poses serious cybersecurity risks, as unsuspecting users may fall victim to phishing attacks, ransomware, and other malware delivered through these malicious messages. The damage caused by such attacks can have massive consequences, ranging from identity theft to complete operational paralysis for businesses.

Recognizing these threats, governments and private entities have attempted to thwart the menace of spam through legislation and deployment of various technological barriers. Laws such as the United States' CAN-SPAM Act, Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation, have sought to impose significant fines on those who engage in egregious spamming practices.

However, legislation alone is not enough to combat the ever-evolving nature of spam. Technological innovation is an essential component in the fight against junk email. Email service providers have employed various tactics, such as machine learning-based algorithms that can identify and filter out suspicious messages, spam traps that 'catch' spammers and support enforcement actions, and sender authentication protocols that make it difficult for spammers to conceal their identity.

Additionally, individual users play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of spam through responsible online conduct. By refraining from disclosing personal information in public forums, being cautious when following links or opening attachments from unknown sources, and setting up strong firewalls and antivirus systems, users can defend themselves from the onslaught of spam and protect their digital lives.

Despite the ongoing efforts to curb spam, it is unlikely that the problem will be completely eliminated in the foreseeable future. As the tools and tactics employed by spammers continue to evolve, so too must the strategies and solutions designed to combat them. This enduring battle against junk email demands consistent vigilance and adaptation from all stakeholders involved in the digital ecosystem. It is only through this collaborative approach that we can hope to reduce the harmful impacts of spam and foster a more secure, efficient, and enjoyable online experience for all.

Meanwhile, on 10 October 1950, the 89th Tank Battalion was attached to the 1st Cavalry Division, increasing the armor available for the Northern Offensive. On 15 October, after moderate KPA resistance, the 7th Cavalry Regiment and Charlie Company, 70th Tank Battalion captured Namchonjam city. On 17 October, they flanked rightwards, away from the principal road (to Pyongyang), to capture Hwangju. Two days later, the 1st Cavalry Division captured Pyongyang, the North's capital city, on 19 October 1950. Kim Il Sung and his government temporarily moved its capital to Sinuiju – although as UNC forces approached, the government again moved – this time to Kanggye.
If it is possible to answer this question, answer it for me (else, reply "unanswerable"): What caused the North Koreans to move their capital for the second time?

Output: The North Koreans had to move their capital for the second time because the UNC (United Nations Command) forces were getting closer. They wanted to keep their government and leaders safe from the fighting and the enemy soldiers. So, they moved their capital again, this time to Kanggye.

pick from the following. a. yes b. it is not possible to tell c. no

Answer: b. it is not possible to tell

Explanation: Just like seeing one bird flying doesn't always mean there are more birds around, one woman serving in beach volleyball doesn't always mean a game is happening. She could just be practicing by herself or maybe playing with another person but not in a game. So, we can't say for sure that a beach volleyball game is happening.

Given the following question, let's solve step-by-step. Is the following statement true?
"Astronauts did not land on the moon."

Output:
To determine if the statement "Astronauts did not land on the moon" is true, we need to examine the available evidence and determine its credibility. Let's go through this step-by-step:

Step 1: Research the Apollo Moon Missions
The Apollo program, conducted by NASA, sent astronauts to the moon from 1969 to 1972. Apollo 11 was the first mission to successfully land on the moon in July 1969, with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins aboard the spacecraft. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the lunar surface.

Step 2: Analyze the Evidence
Evidence supporting the moon landings includes photos and videos taken during the missions, rock samples collected from the lunar surface, ongoing communication between the astronauts and mission control in Houston, and testimony from numerous eyewitnesses. Many experts in the fields of astronomy, geology, and physics have confirmed the authenticity of these materials.

Step 3: Address Conspiracy Theories
Despite the abundant evidence, some people still believe that the moon landings were a hoax. Conspiracy theories usually rely on a combination of misinterpretations, selective evidence presentation, and discrediting of authentic evidence. However, no credible evidence supports the claim that the moon landings were faked.

Conclusion:
Given the overwhelming evidence from the Apollo missions, expert analysis, and the lack of credible alternative explanations, the statement "Astronauts did not land on the moon" is false. Astronauts did indeed land on the moon during the Apollo missions, beginning with Apollo 11 in 1969.

Answer a question about this article:
The links between religious and political life were vital to Rome's internal governance, diplomacy and development from kingdom, to Republic and to Empire. Post-regal politics dispersed the civil and religious authority of the kings more or less equitably among the patrician elite: kingship was replaced by two annually elected consular offices. In the early Republic, as presumably in the regal era, plebeians were excluded from high religious and civil office, and could be punished for offenses against laws of which they had no knowledge. They resorted to strikes and violence to break the oppressive patrician monopolies of high office, public priesthood, and knowledge of civil and religious law. The senate appointed Camillus as dictator to handle the emergency; he negotiated a settlement, and sanctified it by the dedication of a temple to Concordia. The religious calendars and laws were eventually made public. Plebeian tribunes were appointed, with sacrosanct status and the right of veto in legislative debate. In principle, the augural and pontifical colleges were now open to plebeians. In reality, the patrician and to a lesser extent, plebeian nobility dominated religious and civil office throughout the Republican era and beyond.
What group was excluded from high offices ?

Output: In the early Roman Republic, plebeians were the group excluded from high religious and civil offices. The patrician elite held a monopoly on these positions, which led to plebeians resorting to strikes and violence to break this oppressive control. Eventually, plebeian tribunes were appointed, and in principle, the augural and pontifical colleges were opened to plebeians as well. However, in reality, the patrician and, to a lesser extent, plebeian nobility continued to dominate religious and civil offices throughout the Republican era and beyond.

Don't bleach hair that is freshly washed. The bleaching process will dry your hair out significantly, potentially causing damage and breakage. Your hair's natural oils will prevent this. A freshly-washed scalp is also much more sensitive and will itch more during bleaching. Your bleach kit will have two main components: dry powdered bleach and a hydrogen peroxide solution. Mix the two according to the ratios or instructions on your dye kit, using a tint brush or plastic spoon.  Follow the instructions on your kit if they are different from what is described here. Developers come in different strengths rated by numbered "volumes." If your hair is already fairly light, use volume 10. Volume 20 is for darker blondes, volume 30 for light browns, and volume 40 for darker browns and black.  Higher volumes can be more damaging to your hair, but they can also lighten it faster. If you've never bleached your hair to platinum blonde before, you will need to know how long it takes your hair to lighten. Select a small amount of hair close to the roots at an inconspicuous place and section it off. Brush on some bleach using a tiny brush. Let the bleach set and check the strand every 5 to 10 minutes. If your hair is not light enough after an hour, you will need to do multiple rounds of bleaching. Rinse the bleach away between rounds and reapply it. To minimize damage, do not leave bleach in your hair for over an hour. Use a tint brush to apply your bleach mixture evenly to your hair. Work in sections, brushing in the direction your hair grows.  Start from the very back of your head and work your way forward, leaving the sections of hair that frame your face for the end. If your hair is thick, flip up each section to expose the next layer of hair underneath and apply there, too. Leave about a one-inch section around your roots to do last, after the face-framing strands. The heat from your scalp will cause your roots to bleach a little faster than your normal hair. Try to go as quickly as possible to ensure an even color. Refer back to the results of your strand test to determine how long you should leave the bleach in your hair. Cover your hair up with either a shower cap or plastic wrap while you wait. Keep in mind that a little itchiness on your scalp is normal. Use warm water without shampoo. Be very careful to not get any bleach in your eyes as you rinse. If possible, ask someone to rinse your hair for you in a sink while you look up as if you were in a salon. If you aren't immediately moving on to the next step, allow your hair to air dry. Blow drying can further strip your hair of moisture, potentially exacerbating any damage the bleach has caused.

Summary:

Output: Avoid bleaching freshly washed hair as natural oils prevent damage; follow the instructions on your bleach kit, choose the appropriate developer volume, perform a strand test, apply bleach evenly, and rinse carefully without shampoo to minimize damage.

What would you wish most from Patty 's Place , Anne ? ''
`` You ca n't mean that Miss Patty has sent me her china dogs ? ''
`` Go up head .
They 're in my trunk this very moment .
And I 've a letter for you .
Wait a moment and I 'll get it . ''
`` Dear Miss Shirley , '' Miss Patty had written , `` Maria and I were very much interested in hearing of your approaching nuptials .
We send you our best wishes .

Hypothesis: Miss Shirley's wedding is approaching.

Output:
To determine if the hypothesis is true, I will analyze the paragraph step by step to find evidence that supports the hypothesis.

1. Mention of Miss Patty shows some interest in Miss Shirley: "Two days ago Miss Patty wrote me a note asking me to call."
2. Miss Patty wanted to send a gift to Miss Shirley: "then she asked if I would take her gift to you."
3. The gift seems to be china dogs: "`` You ca n't mean that Miss Patty has sent me her china dogs ? ''"
4. Miss Patty also had a letter for Miss Shirley: "And I 've a letter for you."
5. In the letter, Miss Patty refers to Miss Shirley's upcoming wedding: "`` Dear Miss Shirley , '' Miss Patty had written , `` Maria and I were very much interested in hearing of your approaching nuptials."

Considering the evidence from the paragraph, particularly point 5 which states that Miss Patty and Maria are interested in hearing about Miss Shirley's "approaching nuptials," the hypothesis that Miss Shirley's wedding is approaching is true.

(This question was adapted from a recent online chat with The Post’s manners columnist on LGBT/straight issues.)

Q: My brother recently came out as transgender and I am so proud of him for living his life honestly. But I am unsure of what to do with childhood photos of him when he was living as a girl? Should I remove them from display, keep or destroy the photos? He is coming to visit for the first time since transitioning, and I don’t want to offend him. Thank you! ~Anonymous

A: You sound like a wonderful and supportive sister! Frankly, I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer to your question. If you take them down, he could feel he was being made invisible in some way; if you leave them up, he may not be happy. So how about this: Send him a quick email and ask him what he prefers. I don’t think you can go wrong if you do this.

By the way, I want to commend you for making the switch from calling your sibling a “sister” and now a “brother.” According to the Stylebook of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA), “When writing [or talking] about a transgender person, use the name and personal pronouns that are consistent with the way the individual lives publicly. When possible, ask which term the subject prefers.” I couldn’t agree more.

Q: We gave Tiger swimming lessons in our plastic wading pool. I taught the kitten the way Pa taught me: I threw him into water where he could not stand, and I watched, ready to grab him if he went under. Tiger did not thrash desperately like me. He merely paddled urgently for the edge of the plastic pool with his head high and his thin legs churning. Little Bit said, "Dog paddle," and we all laughed. "Tiger paddle," I said, and we all laughed some more, even Jordy. That was probably when Ma noticed the kitten swimming lessons and stopped them. Our swimming lessons happened in two places. When Pa took us, we went to Hawkins Springs behind Mrs. DeLyons' Fountain of Youth Motor Hotel. When Ma took us, we drove to Mermaid Springs State Park, where we would sometimes meet Mr. Drake. I liked Mermaid Springs better because I felt safe there. Ma could not swim, so she never made me jump off a dock into deep water, and she always insisted that I wear an orange styrofoam cylinder on my back like a skindiver or spaceman. Ma usually sat on a towel on the grass near the beach, reading a magazine or a book while tanning her legs. Every now and then she would call to us not to go too far or not to splash each other. When she wore her one-piece red swimming suit, she would come in up to her waist, then lower herself to her shoulders, being careful not to get her hair wet. On the rarest occasions, she would wear a swimming cap and float on her back in the shallow water. Often she stayed in her shorts and shirt, adding sunglasses and removing shoes as her concession to summer and the beach. Question: Where does the writer belives to be safe? === The answer to the above question is
A:

Output: The writer believes they are safe at Mermaid Springs State Park. This is because when they go with their Ma, she ensures they wear a safety flotation device made from an orange styrofoam cylinder on their back, which provides an extra sense of security. Additionally, their Ma does not make them jump off a dock into deep waters due to her own inability to swim. She is also observant and frequently reminds them to be cautious while playing in the water. This contrasts with their experiences at Hawkins Springs, where the atmosphere seems to be more uncertain and their safety may not have been as closely monitored. The attentive supervision and protection provided at Mermaid Springs State Park create a safe environment for the writer, which is why they prefer it over Hawkins Springs.

Robert was teaching Randy to crochet a scarf so

Options are:
(1). Robert could make a gift for their daughter.
(2). Randy could make a gift for their daughter.

Output:
Robert was teaching Randy to crochet a scarf so Randy could make a gift for their daughter. This decision stemmed from Randy's desire to create something heartfelt and unique, as well as to expand his own skill set. Crocheting, an age-old craft that involves interlocking loops of yarn using a crochet hook, provided the perfect opportunity for Randy to not only learn a new technique, but also to pour his love and creativity into a meaningful and tangible object his daughter would cherish.

As the lessons began, Robert patiently guided Randy through each step of the process, from selecting the appropriate yarn and crochet hook to demonstrating different stitches and patterns. Randy was eager to gain mastery over this new skill, diligently practicing each stitch and seeking constant feedback from Robert. The two bonded over the experience, as the hours spent together allowed them to reconnect and engage in heartfelt conversations.

As Randy grew more adept at crochet, he started to envision the perfect scarf for his daughter. He considered her favorite colors, her style, and her personality, ensuring that every detail would match the mental image he had built of the ideal gift. A delicate balance between warmth, aesthetic appeal, and comfort was paramount to him, and he sought Robert's guidance in order to achieve this outcome.

Robert's experience allowed him to recommend various stitch patterns and techniques to help Randy create a one-of-a-kind scarf. They collaborated to select the perfect yarn that would not only be pleasing to the touch, but also durable and easy to maintain. As the project progressed, Randy became more confident and excited, knowing that his effort would speak volumes to his daughter about his love and dedication.

In due time, the scarf was completed. Randy took great pride in presenting the gift to his daughter, who was moved by her father's effort to learn a new skill just to create something special for her. As she wrapped the scarf around her neck, she felt the warmth and love stitched into every fiber. It became a symbol of the bond between them, as well as a testament to Randy's commitment to showing his love in tangible ways.

The experience of learning to crochet and creating a heartfelt gift for his daughter proved to be incredibly valuable for Randy. Beyond the satisfaction of creating a unique and personal gift, this journey allowed him to expand his skill set, forge a deeper connection with his friend Robert, and demonstrate the depth of his love for his child in a memorable and enduring way. The whole process made Randy realize that in a world increasingly dominated by technology and fast-paced communication, there is still immense value in taking the time to engage in traditional crafts and pass on these skills to future generations.

- Sentence B: "you have to tell the judge the truth"
 Let's reason step by step:

Output:
To determine which sentence is nonsensical, let's analyze them step by step:

Sentence A: "you have to tell the judge the joke"

1. "you" refers to the person being addressed.
2. "have to" implies a compulsion or necessity.
3. "tell" implies communicating something.
4. "the judge" refers to a legal authority or figure who oversees trials.
5. "the joke" implies a humorous anecdote or saying.

In this sentence, the listener is being asked to communicate a humorous anecdote to a legal authority.

Sentence B: "you have to tell the judge the truth"

1. "you" refers to the person being addressed.
2. "have to" implies a compulsion or necessity.
3. "tell" implies communicating something.
4. "the judge" refers to a legal authority or figure who oversees trials.
5. "the truth" implies the objective reality or facts of a situation.

In this sentence, the listener is being asked to communicate the objective facts of a situation to a legal authority.

Between these two sentences, Sentence A ("you have to tell the judge the joke") would be considered nonsensical because it is unlikely for someone to be compelled to tell a joke to a judge, especially in the context of a legal proceeding. Sentence B ("you have to tell the judge the truth") contains a logical statement with a clear and meaningful instruction, as it is common to be expected to be truthful to a legal authority during a trial or hearing.

News article:

 Weary of waiting for an economic recovery worth its name, a frustrated American public has sent Barack Obama's job approval rating to a career low - with a majority in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll favoring a Republican Congress to act as a check on his policies.

 Registered voters by 53-39 percent in the national survey say they'd rather see the Republicans in control of Congress as a counterbalance to Obama's policies than a Democratic-led Congress to help support him. It was similar in fall 2010, when the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives and gained six Senate seats.

 See PDF with full results and charts here.

 Obama's job approval rating, after a slight winter rebound, has lost 5 points among all adults since March, to 41 percent, the lowest of his presidency by a single point. Fifty-two percent disapprove, with "strong" disapproval exceeding strong approval by 17 percentage points. He's lost ground in particular among some of his core support groups.

 Economic discontent remains the driving element in political views in this survey, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. Americans rate the condition of the economy negatively by 71-29 percent - the least bad since November 2007, but still dismal by any measure. Only 28 percent think the economy's improving, down by 9 points since just before Obama won his second term. He gets just 42 percent approval for handling it.

 Economic views are strongly related to political preferences. Among people who see the economy improving, 65 percent prefer Democratic control of Congress, while among those who see the economy as stagnant or worsening, 62 percent favor Republican control. Notably, economic views are linked with preferences for control of Congress regardless of people's partisan affiliation.

 The results suggest the corrosive effects of the long downturn on the president's popularity: Among those who say the economy is in bad shape, Obama's overall approval rating has lost 20 points since February 2012, from 46 percent then to 26 percent now.

 The president faces other challenges. While he's hailed insurance exchange sign-ups as a marker of the Affordable Care Act's success, the program and his rating for handling it have lost ground, both down from their levels late last month after the Healthcare.gov website was stabilized. The law gets 44 percent support, down 5 points; Obama has just 37 percent approval for its implementation, down 7.

 One reason is that the law seems to have opened an avenue for public ire about health care costs to be directed at the administration. Six in 10 blame the ACA for increasing costs nationally, and 47 percent think it's caused their own health care expenses to rise. Regardless of whether or how much those costs would have risen otherwise, Obamacare is taking a heavy dose of the blame.

 Separately, a current issue on the world stage offers no respite for Obama: Given continued tensions over Ukraine, just 34 percent of Americans approve of how he's handling that situation, 8 points fewer than early last month. Forty-six percent disapprove, with two in 10 withholding judgment.

 DISCONTENT/MIDTERMS - With these and other problems - but chiefly the economy - the public by more than 2-1, 66-30 percent, says the country's headed seriously off on the wrong track. That's about where it's been lately, and more negative than a year ago.

 General anti-incumbency results: Just 22 percent of Americans say they're inclined to re-elect their representative in Congress, unchanged from last month as the fewest in ABC/Post polls dating back 25 years.

 Another outcome is risk for the president's party, in punishment for his handling of the helm. A single point divides Democratic and Republican candidates for the House in preference among registered voters, 45-44 percent. Among those who say they're certain to vote (with Republicans more apt to show up in midterms), that goes to 44-49 percent.

 Independents, a sometimes swing-voting group, favor Republican House candidates by 55-32 percent (among those who say they're certain to vote). And, as with views on control of Congress, perceptions of the economy correlate with congressional vote preference, regardless of partisanship.

 ISSUES - None of this means the GOP is home free. A robust improvement in the economy could change the equation. (As many, at least, say it's currently holding steady, 35 percent, as think it's getting worse, 36 percent.) And even as the brunt of economic unhappiness falls on the president, the public divides essentially evenly on which party they trust more to handle the economy - suggesting that the Republicans have yet to present a broadly appealing alternative.

 In another example, for all of Obamacare's controversies, the Democrats hold a slight 8-point edge in trust to handle health care, again indicating that the Republicans have yet to seize the opportunity to present a compelling solution of their own. Indeed, the Democrats have a 6-point lead in trust to handle "the main problems the nation faces" - although, as with all others, that narrows among likely voters, in this case to 37-40 percent, a numerical (but not significant) GOP edge.

 The Republicans have a 9-point advantage in trust to handle the federal deficit - an improvement for the party from last month. Similarly, Americans by a 7-point margin trust the Republicans over Obama to find the right mix of spending to cut and federal programs to maintain. The president had an 11-point lead on that question just after the partial government shutdown last fall.

 The Democrats push back with two results that they're likely to stress as the November election draws closer: One is a broad, 20-point advantage, 52-32 percent, in trust over the Republicans to help the middle class (but again, this narrows among likely voters). The other is an even wider, 30-point lead, 55-25 percent, in trust to handle issues of particular concern to women.

 The Republicans have some vulnerability in other areas, as well. Americans say the Democratic Party comes closer than the GOP to their positions on climate change, by 18 points; whether or not to raise the minimum wage, by 16 points; gay marriage, by 14 points; and the issue of abortion, by 8 points. On one remaining issue, gun control, the Republicans have a slight, 5-point edge.

 HEALTH CARE - Obamacare, for its part, is a subject the Republicans have sought to turn to their advantage in the midterm elections, and the poll results show ample opportunity.

 Costs are a particular target. As noted, 47 percent of Americans feel that their health care costs are rising as a result of the ACA; 58 percent say the same about the overall costs of health care nationally. Just 8 and 11 percent, respectively, say the law has decreased these costs. If there's a case to be made that costs would have risen anyway - or that they would have risen faster absent the ACA - it's yet to resonate with large segments of the population.

 Other assessments also are critical. The public by a 20-point margin, 44-24 percent, is more apt to say the law has made the overall health care system worse rather than better (although the number who say it's made things better is up by 5 points from December). The rest, 29 percent, see no change. Americans by 29-14 percent likewise say the ACA has made their own care worse rather than better, with more, 53 percent, reporting no impact.

 Despite the website's improvements, half say the law's implementation is going worse than they expected when it began, vs. 41 percent better - another sign of the persistent antipathy that's dogged Obamacare from the start.

 The poll also shows both the striking partisan division on Obamacare and the extent to which, on several questions, independents side more with Republicans on the issue. Thirty-eight percent of Democrats, for instance, say the ACA has increased health care costs nationally; that soars to 67 percent of independents and 73 percent of Republicans. And while 47 percent of Democrats think it's made the health care system better, just 6 and 16 percent of Republicans and independents, respectively, agree.

 OBAMA/GROUPS - Divisions among groups remain especially stark in terms of Obama's ratings; further, as noted, he's lost ground in some of his core support groups. The president's approval rating since early March has lost 14 points among liberals, 12 points among people with postgraduate degrees, 10 points among urban residents, 9 points among Democrats and 7 points among those with incomes less than $50,000. He's lost 9 points among independents as well.

 With 41 percent approval overall (his previous low was 42 percent last November and the same in October 2011), Obama's at new lows among nonwhites (61-34 percent, approve-disapprove) and liberals (63-31 percent), and matches his lows among moderates (46-48 percent) and independents (33-59 percent). His rating among Democrats, 74-22 percent, is a single point from its low.

 Other results also mark the extent of the difficulties facing Obama and his party alike. A form of statistical analysis called regression finds that, as noted above, views on the economy correlate both with congressional vote preference, and views on which party should control Congress, independently of partisan affiliation. That suggests that the Democrats are in serious need of a positive shift in economic views.

 That may be hard to accomplish. While 50 percent of Democrats say the economy's in good shape, that plummets not only among Republicans but independents as well, to 12 and 22 percent, respectively. And while 46 percent of Democrats see improvement in the economy, again just 22 percent of independents, and 15 percent of Republicans, agree.

 Preferences on which party controls Congress may reflect a general inclination in favor of divided government - and don't always predict outcomes, as in 2002, when more registered voters preferred Democratic control yet the GOP held its ground. It's striking, nonetheless, that this poll finds Republican control favored not only in the 2012 red states, by 56-36 percent, but also by 51-41 percent in the blue states that backed Obama fewer than two years ago.

 METHODOLOGY - This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by telephone April 24-27, 2014, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,000 adults, including landline and cell-phone-only respondents. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including design effect. Partisan divisions are 32-21-38 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

 Democrats face serious obstacles as they look to the November elections, with President Obama’s approval rating at a new low and a majority of voters saying they prefer a Congress in Republican hands to check the president’s agenda, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

 Obama’s approval rating fell to 41 percent, down from 46 percent through the first three months of the year and the lowest of his presidency in Post-ABC News polls. Just 42 percent approve of his handling of the economy, 37 percent approve of how he is handling the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and 34 percent approve of his handling of the situation involving Ukraine and Russia.

 Obama’s low rating could be a significant drag on Democratic candidates this fall — past elections suggest that when approval ratings are as low as Obama’s, the president’s party is almost certain to suffer at the ballot box in November.

 Republicans are favored to maintain control of the House, with the focus now on whether they can take control of the Senate. One key question about November is who will vote. Turnout in midterm elections is always lower than in presidential elections, and at this point, key elements of the Republican coalition — namely white voters and older voters — say they are more certain to cast ballots this fall than are younger voters and minorities, two groups that Democrats and Obama relied on in 2008 and 2012.

 Democrats are not without assets as the midterm election campaigns intensify. Americans trust Democrats over Republicans by 40 to 34 percent to handle the country’s main problems. By significant margins, Americans see Democrats as better for the middle class and on women’s issues. Americans favor the Democrats’ positions on raising the minimum wage, same-sex marriage and on the broad issue of dealing with global climate change.

 Led by Obama, Democrats have sought to use many of these issues to draw contrasts with Republicans, both nationally and in states with the most competitive races. As yet, however, there is little evidence that those assets outweigh either the normal midterm disadvantages of the party that holds the White House or the dissatisfaction with the general direction of the country and Obama’s leadership generally.

 The Affordable Care Act is expected to be a major issue in the midterm elections. Obama recently urged Democrats to defend the law energetically, particularly after the administration announced that 8 million people signed up for it during the initial enrollment period. Republicans are confident that opposition to the new law will energize their supporters.

 The Post-ABC poll found that 44 percent say they support the law while 48 percent say they oppose it, which is about where it was at the end of last year and in January. Half of all Americans also say they think implementation is worse than expected.

 Last month, a Post-ABC poll found 49 percent of Americans saying they supported the new law compared with 48 percent who opposed it. That finding was more positive for the administration than most other polls at the time. Democrats saw it as a possible leading indicator of a shift in public opinion, but that has not materialized.

 A 58 percent majority say the new law is causing higher costs overall, and 47 percent say it will make the health-care system worse. While a majority say the quality of the health care they receive will remain the same, a plurality expect it to result in higher personal costs for that care.

 A number of Democratic strategists are urging their candidates to campaign on a message that calls for continued implementation of the law, with some fixes. These strategists say that message is more popular than the “repeal and replace” theme of the Republicans. A separate poll Tuesday from the Kaiser Family Foundation finds nearly six in 10 want Congress to improve the law rather than repeal it and replace it with something new.

 Democrats are hoping to put Republicans on the defensive on the question of “what next” for the Affordable Care Act. Republicans say they remain confident that the health-care issue will help them more in November.

 Pessimism about the economy also persists, with more than seven in 10 describing the economy in negative terms. Public attitudes about the future of the economy are anything but rosy. Just 28 percent say they think the economy is getting better, while 36 percent say it is getting worse and 35 percent say it’s staying the same.

 Americans express continued discontent about the country’s direction, with two-thirds saying things are on the wrong track. Asked whether each party’s incumbents deserve relection, at least six in 10 say they do not.

 Among registered voters, 45 percent intend to vote for the Democratic candidate in House elections this fall, and 44 percent for the Republican candidate. Based on past elections, that close margin is troubling news for Democrats. Shortly before they lost control of the House in 2010, Democrats held a five-point advantage on this question.

 Another measure of voting intentions came when people were asked whether they thought it was more important to have Democrats in charge in Congress to help support Obama’s policies or Republicans in charge to act as a check on the president’s policies. On this, 53 percent of voters say Republicans and 39 percent say Democrats. That is almost identical to the results of the same question when it was asked in September 2010, two months before the GOP landslide.

 The decline in Obama’s approval rating in the most recent poll was the result of lower support among both Democrats and independents. At this point, 74 percent of Democrats say they approve of his job performance, one point higher than his lowest ever in Post-ABC surveys. The worry for Obama and his party is that many of the Democrats who disapprove of Obama’s performance simply won’t show up in November.

 Although Obama’s overall approval rating is at its lowest point ever in Post-ABC polls, his disapproval is still a few points better than at its worst. That’s because more people than usual say they had no opinion. At this point, Obama’s approval rating looks only slightly better than that of President George W. Bush in the spring of 2006.

 Also, the disapproval of Obama’s handling of the situation with Ukraine and Russia is 46 percent, with 20 percent saying they have no opinion on that — perhaps a sign that Americans see few good policy options for the United States in the standoff.

 Some Democratic strategists have argued that their candidates have ample arguments to make against Republicans this fall as they seek to hold down expected losses.

 The Post-ABC survey sheds light on what they are. Democrats have a significant advantage on eight issues, from health care to climate change to abortion and same-sex marriage. Democrats have a smaller advantage on immigration, and the two parties are roughly equal on the economy. Republicans have the edge on three — guns, the deficit and striking the right balance on which government programs to cut.

 Where Democrats have the biggest advantages are on the same contrasts that helped Obama win reelection in 2012 — indicators of which party voters believe is on their side. By 52 to 32 percent, those surveyed say they trust Democrats to do a better job helping the middle class, and by 55 to 25 percent, they trust Democrats on issues that are especially important to women.

 How much those attitudes will actually drive voting decisions and voter turnout will be important in determining what happens in November.

 The Post-ABC poll was conducted April 24 to 27 among a random national sample of 1,000 adults, including interviews on land lines and with cellphone-only respondents. The overall margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Output: According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, Barack Obama's job approval rating has reached a career low, with a majority favoring a Republican Congress to act as a check on his policies. Obama's job approval rating lost 5 points among all adults since March, dropping to 41 percent. This is the lowest of his presidency by a single point. Discontent with the economy remains the driving element in political views, with 71% of Americans rating the condition of the economy negatively. The results suggest that the long downturn in the economy has negatively impacted the president's popularity.

I'll give you a question, please answer with step-by-step reasoning process. Where is a good place to sore a wind instrument in you home?
Options:
- under bed
- symphony
- music room
- band practice
- music store

Output:
To determine the best place to store a wind instrument in your home, let's evaluate each option step by step:

1. Under bed: Storing a wind instrument under the bed may protect it from direct sunlight or accidental damage. However, it might be exposed to dust and not easily accessible when needed. Additionally, it may not provide proper ventilation needed to keep the instrument in good condition. This option might be suitable for temporary storage, but not ideal for regular usage.

2. Symphony: This option is not relevant to storing a wind instrument in your home, as a symphony is a group of musicians or a musical composition.

3. Music room: A music room is specifically designed for practicing and storing musical instruments within your home. It provides a dedicated space for the instrument, making it easily accessible for practice and safe from potential damage. The environment can be controlled to ensure proper ventilation and humidity levels. This option is highly suitable for regular usage and storage.

4. Band practice: This option refers to a location where band practice takes place, and may not be relevant for home storage.

5. Music store: A music store is a place to purchase or rent instruments, and may offer storage solutions, but it is not suitable for storing a personal instrument within your home.

Based on the evaluation, a music room (option 3) would be the best choice for storing a wind instrument in your home, as it provides a dedicated and controlled environment for regular usage and proper storage.
